Whenever you think of drawing near to God, of serving God, and of offering yourself unto God, you might rightly wonder how you in your sinfulness with your transgressions and backslidings since you were converted and received Christ, you with the sinfulness of your nature, can actually have fellowship with God every day. The answer then comes: In Christ Jesus ye who at another time were far off are made near by the blood of the Christ (Ephesians 2:13).
